New baby in the house!

[pjmuck]

No, not in the figurative sense, (like my '72 Fender J) I'm talking about a real honest to goodness, living, breathing little boy. Please welcome into the world Devon McCulloch, born on 03/21 at 9:01am and weighing in at 7.5lbs. It's too soon to tell whether or not he favors the left or right hand but if he turns lefty there will be a few basses waiting for him. (I know I'm gonna regret that remark when I find him finger painting my '72!).

Wow, congratulations!

Congrats!



I'm getting mentally ready. . . The wife is SO ready to get pregnant. . . I'm holding for as long as I can, no pun intended.

My first born is due Thursday.

Thanks guys, and good luck Austin. If you need any tips on how to manage time with a newborn around, let me know. I have a 1-1/2 year old daughter as well, and if there's anything I can say about having kids it's that it's forced me to get organized pretty quickly. I'm pretty much on a schedule for anything I want to do, from bass practicing to typing e-mails, and that schedule has obviously been dictated by the kids. But it's worked out pretty well so far. I'm a night owl, so 1am-2am I'm up either practicing or managing my fantasy baseball team, LOL.

My first-born, Keith, is one week old today.

[pjmuck]

Hey congrats, Austin. So tell me, are you getting any sleep yet after the first week, LOL? My son is finally accepting a pacifier as of yesterday, and believe me he's been 100 times calmer since. I'm working the graveyard babysitting shift from 10:30am - 2:00am (being a club-playing musician pays when you need to do babysitting till 2am; no problem for me), which gives my wife at least 4 hours of sleep before she needs to nurse him.

[AustinLeftyBass]

He's doing good, been on pacifier since Day 2, he's pretty mellow. Day 5 evening was tuff, he just wanted to scream, but got over it eventually.

Hey ALB, congratulations! Wow, kinda neat you guys having babies so close in time to one another.

[AustinLeftyBass]

The boy went to his first Eggmen gig(outside the womb, of course), last night at The Oasis here in Austin. Handled it well.
Here he is:

That baby can play a Ric already?!?

He's going to be stealing your gigs from you.
